That Was Then, This Is Now

Then, the skies were blue and white 
And the sun's ray brought pure light 
Now the skies are dark and gray 
And black shadows cap the day 

Then, the mountains were all green 
There were waters in between 
Now, the mountains are all brown 
Though, the high gods hold their crown 

Then, the oceans were all blue 
And the rivers' shine were true 
Now, the oceans are all dark 
And the rivers got no spark 

Then, the air we breath was pure 
Sunlight bathing were all sure
Now, we hardly breath in smoke
And the ozone's ply was broke
